Granular Synthesis Made Simple
If you've tried granular synthesis before and were nonplussed with results that were more abstract than you'd prefer, Sweetwater has a plug-in you should know about. Output Portal is a granular synthesis FX plug-in that re-synthesizes sounds to deliver results that are more closely related to the original signal; transforming your VSTs, drum samples, or live inputs such as vocals and guitars into new sonic possibilities. Perhaps you've heard that granular synthesis is time-consuming. For instant gratification, Portal gives you over 250 great-sounding presets designed by pros. Its intuitive circular visualizer is linked to granular parameters, greatly simplifying the granular synthesis sound-creation process.
